I have been trying to install procmail. I am able to get it to compile
procmail but not formail etc.. I have decide to just worry about getting
procmail to act a mail filter for now.
This is part of my .procmailrc .
Needed to define DEFAULT as /var/mail/rick other wise I would not be
notified of new mail. I have 3 other directories for maillist.
.procmailrc
---------------------------------------------------------------
PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/ucb:/bin:/usr/local/bin:.
MAILDIR=$HOME/mail # You'd better make sure it exists
DEFAULT=/var/mail/rick #$MAILDIR/inbox
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/from
#LOCKFILE=$HOME/.lockmail
:0
* ^From.*procmail
PROC
--------------------cut off rest of .procmail --------------------
This is an excert from my "from" file.
procmail: Lock failure on "/var/mail/rick.lock"

Folder: /var/mail/rick 802
Any ideas what the problem is? my mail still gets delivered. should I
worry about this.
I am using PINE 3.91
thanks in advance.. if I solve this then I will bother you all about getting
formail and smartlist etc... to compile. so I can autorespond and cut my
digests into seperate messages..etc..........
